Very nice!!

Yeah, Molly and I got a single rooster. Saw some hens.

Who gave him his name? Self proclaimed master!? Let’s see the master Goose hunting pictures! Show me those piles/heaping mounds of feathers and bills from your glory days. Who do you act like to get on prime cut cornfields?

Well all, time for closing thoughts. As calamari said, it was a learning experience. Next time I’ll push for more road time and less sleep to get where we should be. Our final stop allowed us the greatest opportunity. The problem was the fields were full of hunters as suggested. We saw some...

Great job Robert! Glad you had success.

No, we went northwestern. Now we cruised down outside of Helena for our last hunt day tomorrow on some local advice. We should have bit the bullet and went eastern. But I’m not gonna second guess things now! I’m having a great time. Beautiful country, extremely nice helpful people. It’s great.

Good for you!! Wish I could be saying the same about western Montana. I need to figure out how to take more time off so I can get further east!!

It’s warm for sure. 6 miles yesterday, and 5 so far today. Human miles, so I know the dogs have put a lot on. We’ve seen one covey of sharptails. We’ve hunted CRP, WMA, and a ranch that the state took over. Nothing else. I’m wondering if that cold spell last week had any effect on the...

Stopped in Northern Utah to pick up the rest of our Hunting Party. Moving through Idaho and it’s clear and cold! Weather outlook looks to be in the low-mid 60’s if you can believe it.

Calamari’s recipe looked pretty tempting! In all fairness, It’s with most game. I made an awesome barbacoa with my snow good horde that the family loved. Otherwise they despise the flavor.

I look forward to reading it. We are heading to northern Utah to meet up with my buddies dad and brother. Then heading up the hill early Tuesday. Hopefully a little scouting to pick the best looking spot to start the adventure. Success will be measured in the experience, not bird count!

We leave Monday. Hunting Wednesday-Friday. Weather looks like it’s going to be perfect. Hoping it’ll be productive. Pictures forthcoming!

So I ended up sticking to my original plans. I got a single dove and my daughter got none. We only saw about 7. There was some sporadic shooting going on around us but nothing crazy. This evening at the camp site about 200+ showed up. I couldn’t have been that lucky and have them at my...

Well thank you! That’s some valuable information. I looked at the smoke maps and it’s bad everywhere. The bummer was I couldn’t go scout because I’ve been slammed with work and the fires. Then my wife dragged me to Tahoe this last weekend and so I’ve had to almost throw a dart at a map. I...

Yeah, if you’re in it for the birds you’re going to be disappointed. For me, it’s about getting out and letting the dog do what she loves to do. Your best bet would be to find a California wildlife refuge close to you. Get out there now. Talk with the unit manager or the unit biologist...
